Sparky is such a good boy! Sparky hopes that at 13, it’s his lucky year to find his forever family. DFW Lab Rescue has saved Sparky TWICE! First in 2009 when he was a pup his family couldn’t care for him any longer and he was adopted. He’s back with the rescue after traveling out of state and his family couldn’t care for him any longer. 

Sparky loves chilling with you inside but he also loves going on long (a mile or so) walks and playing fetch. He gets along with my 3 dogs and we also have 2 cats to whom he pays no attention to. Sparky sleeps by our bed and can be trusted inside your home. Sparky had fleas when he came to us but the right meds and regular baths have fixed that situation and he’s just waiting for his hair to grow back in a few spots. He’s thin so needs groceries! Since he loves to eat, that’s easy. 

Sparky will be a great companion for your family.

Sullivan is a 10 month old energetic black male lab. He is very affectionate and wants to be next to or in his human’s lap.  He loves playing with his foster dog brothers and he loves playing fetch. At night he likes to sleep on his bed but when he has trouble settling down, he does best sleeping in his crate. He does great in the car and loves water. He is potty trained, has great food manners and does great in the crate, just tell him “go home” and in he goes. He is your typical 10 month old lab puppy that will thrive in a home with kids or active adults that will treat him like another family member.

Introducing Rizzo! A sweet, gentle girl with a curious nature and a companion heart. She has good house manners that make her a joy to be with. She does not need to be crated when I leave and sleeps by my bed at night. She politely takes treats and is not a jumper, although she may dance a little with excitement. It’s quite cute to see her little wiggle dance!

Rizzo had a few hard breaks in life that caused her to lose an eye and several teeth, but that doesn’t stop her. It seems that Rizzo has never met a stranger and immediately calmly greets my guests.  She’s active during the day when I’m active, but settles quickly and is a faithful companion while I work from home.  She seems to want nothing more than to stick close by, getting love and scritches.  Although, exploring her yard and keeping us safe from squirrels are also favored activities.  She patiently waits for the end of my workday. Then we’re off doing things before dinner … errands in the car, visiting with friends, or general house and yard work. 

Rizzo gets along very well with her other lab rescue buddies and she lights up when around children, immediately adopting them as her best friend.  Rizzo is working on learning commands like Sit and Stay and would appreciate a family who will continue her training.

Maple came to DFW Lab rescue from south Texas. She was separated from her family during the flooding and no one came for her when the water receeded. As a result this sweet girl is a little lost and is working on her self confidence. She is a friendly girl that interacts well with all humans. Interested in the cats she will only chase them if they run but not in a mean way at all, mostly curious and playful. She is one of six dogs in the house so was a little timid initially. Maybe a bit overwhelmed.

After just a few days she has started to play appropriatley with the household canine residents. Maple is now rolling over and letting the youngster dogs bite on her and jump all over her. Maple loves the pool and at first would only go in on the steps when it was hot but now will jump in off the sides to challenge her foster brother for a toy. She picked up the dog door very quickly and has had no accidents in the house. So far it does not seem that she knows basic commands like sit, at least not in english. Being food motivated however, she will learn with some patience and love. Maple is very good on a leash, loves being with her people and will be a great companion for a lucky household.

Sheeba is a great house guest, but she is needing the love, comfort and consistency of her next furever home. Sheeba's owner had some serious health issues that forced her to have to give her up where she was loved and cherished and she is confused about meeting all these new people and places. She was previously in a home with an older dog and cats but has not been around small children. She is well-mannered, very loving (once she knows you), potty-trained, crate-trained, loves to fetch and is overall just a great girl. Sheba would probably love a playmate since she is only 3 and seems to be completely bored with my 14 year old Lab. She could benefit from some leash work which should aid in her losing a few pounds. But she is such a love that if you have a lap that she can rest her head on, Sheeba will be bonded to you for life!

Sheeba has also been diagnosed with some hip dysplasia and arthritis around the hip joints. Good walks, a little weight loss and a good over the counter joint supplement is what the vet has perscribed. She also has mlld allergies that are also being treated with OTC medication.

Becker is a beautiful, big chocolate male who is as sweet as his color would indicate. At his age, he is still playful with his two foster Lab siblings but is also OK just hanging around the house. He walks well on a leash and loves to ride in the car. He loves people, young and older children, and enjoys being close by.  Becker has a bit of a prey drive so he is not good with cats or very small animals in the home. 

If you are looking for a good, goofy and sweet buddy, look no further. Becker is a handsome and loving companion that will do well in the right home.

Sallie Mae is a petite (50lb) and really rambunctious puppy. She is all muscle and can wear out her 90-lb and 70-lb lab foster sisters at super rough play. She is housetrained, walks well on a leash (UNLESS she sees a rabbit - the prey drive is strong!) and isn’t extremely food driven, although she likes treats, will sit and has a gentle mouth for treats. She loves to sit for a full body massage! She loves to fetch and chew (hide your shoes!). She can outrun a squirrel (squirrel was running along the top of a fence, Sallie Mae on the ground). When she gets excited, she is still very mouthy and nippy, so no small children for now. We are using techniques to stop this, and she is already responding, but it takes time and consistency. She would benefit nicely from obedience training. She wants to be outside a lot with her person and room to run. She sleeps in her crate all night in a room alone, but fusses some when put there during the day.

Nevado is a sweet, affectionate and handsome boy. He found his way into rescue after he was found wondering around. After trying to locate his owner (he had no chip or collar), he was eventually surrendered to DFW Lab Rescue (his guardian angel didn't have enough room for him). He is attentive and just wants to please his people and be a part of the family. Nevado spent a little bit of time with one of our fabulous trainers that taught him about living in a home and now he has it all down.....Crate training - check! Potty training - check! Basic obedience - check!

If Nevado sounds like your kind of dog, let the folks in adoptions know.

Hi, my name is Ravan.  I am a sweet, gorgeous girl. My brothers and I were turned over by a breeder/trainer and, as you can imagine, I was bred and I was trained. I have experienced a lot in my two years of life, and I am ready to be a spoiled member of your family. My manners are amazing - I am excellent on a leash (and LOVE to be outdoors!), I am house broken and I love the safety of my crate. I sleep all night in my crate without a peep and I wouldn’t dream of getting on a piece of furniture. 

What my foster mom has to say:  Ravan is so calm and docile that you would never know she is a young lab.  While she has come so far since joining our family, she still lacks confidence and is shy. She is scared of young children, but I completely trust her around our young boys. She has not shown signs that she would harm a fly, so, while she has not been cat tested, I don’t think this would be a problem. I think Ravan would thrive in any household, but I think her ideal match would be a home without small children. She would love four legged siblings, but that's not a requirement as she is happy to meet any dog we see with a wagging tail!  She is improving (healthwise) daily and we are on the cusp of a happy, thriving, SWEETHEART that will make some lucky family so very happy.

Whiskee is a very sweet, docile guy. He took a bit to get comfortable in his foster home because he LOVES being outside and wasn’t sure how to act inside of a house with an active family. He is crate trained and he sleeps in it at night, but he also willingly rests in it during the day and feels safe in there. You can often find him laying on his dog bed so peacefully too! He is house trained as well and walks so well on a leash right beside you!

He is good with kids and other big dogs (as he was used to them being around), although he is very sensitive to loud noises from humans and will retreat to his crate or dog bed. He might feel more comfortable around older kids, but loves to play fetch and will retrieve in the very shallow part of the pool too! He is on the smaller side and was not very hungry during the first few weeks of his heart worm treatment, but he is making up for it now and loves to eat!! Overall, he is such a gentle soul and anyone that meets him just brags about how sweet he is!! He will be a great addition to a family!

Boeing wants to say a few things - pssst - he is a great guy!

On my way to stardom I want to thank:

• Duck Team 6-- for catching me at my dangerous home at Love Field parking garage.
• DFW Lab Rescue—for accepting me and taking me to the nice Vet who made sure I am healthy.
• My foster parents—for playing with me, teaching me manners, giving me good food, treats, and fun toys.
• My foster big brother, Laker, for teaching me how to use the doggie door, to enjoy my very own den (crate), to stay out of the kitchen or dining room while people are eating—no begging.

If you want:

• A VERY affectionate companion who will adore you, 
• A squeaky toy symphony,
• Company for long walks—runs, car rides, trips to the dog park and
• A Lab that actually retrieves and who behaves very well on his leash.  

I AM YOUR MAN…..er..DOG!

Sawwyer  and Finn were litermates and have always been together and will be adopted out as a bonded pair 

Hi, this is Sawwyer (I'm the lighter and bigger of the two of us) and I'm checking in with my brother FInne. We are 6 1/2 years old and have been together since birth. There is nothing like taking on the world with your very own brother. We aren’t very mischievous, but we do like an adventure every now and then. We love to go for car rides and take a swim when we can. We both take treats gently, have never had an accident in the house, aren’t bothered by other dogs and love it when we get tummy rubs. Our foster mom says we have the best manners she has seen, though we could use some help figuring out that leash-thing. Thunderstorms don’t even bother us.

If you have room in your home and your heart for two large, adorable hunks of chocolate, please consider Finne and Sawwyer. They do well with children but not cats and would really like to stay together.

My name is Laverne and my foster mom says I am one sweet baby girl! I am still a puppy and I love to play and chase my foster sister around the yard (and the house!). My foster mom said that I behave very well for my age with typical puppy energy, but try real hard to behave. I am working on potty / crate training, coming when my name is called, swimming, and sitting. The swimming lessons are my favorite and I am becoming a really good swimmer, just confused about how to get in and out of the pool. 

I like my crate as long as it is near someone! I'll go in it to play with my toys and take a nap and I also eat in my crate, so I really like it at meal times. I am sleeping in my crate at night and doing pretty well but once I get rested, I am ready to play again. Mom says I am spoiled rotten already and the way she says it, I'm pretty sure that is a good thing.  

I love playing with the foster(dog) bother and sister. So far I like every dog I see and am very curious about my feline foster brother. I don't think he likes me that much, he doesn't like to play with me like the dogs. I would love a home with another dog or kids that can play with me. I really like being part of the pack, even if I am the smallest member.

I would love to find a home where I can play and get lots of love.

Carmin is a sweet, active puppy! He can be a little shy until he gets to know you, but it doesn't take long for him to warm up. He's not interested in being the center of attention and will often quietly watch the action from the perimeter.  He is very comfortable in his crate and keeps it clean all night long. He is doing well with house training, but will need more work.  He spends most of his time wrestling with his sister and playing with toys. He loves feeding time and is the first one to "sit" when instructed. Carmin gets along well with children and other dogs and is ready to find his people!

Howdy! My name is Reefe and I'm told I am such a sweet guy, and I am not complaining as with that comes lots of love, treats, and toys! My foster mom says I'm so playful and active, that I have wheels on my feet - I am always moving! I know the command to sit which I learnt super quick and I know I can do more very easily and quickly. I'm good when I am in my crate and I sleep through the night and never make a peep while I'm in there!

At my foster house, I have a buddy, and we get along great. We play chase endlessly all day. I spend time exploring the backyard, and a puppy at heart that I am, I enjoy everything. I love the leaves, twigs, stray toys, and playing in the sprinkler (see pictures)! I also share the house with 2 human kids at ages 9 to 11 and I love them and greet them every morning with lots of wags and kisses !

I am a great watchdog as well and can have a big bark to keep needless beings at bay! Thanks for reading all about me! I am pawsitively amazing and so excited to meet my forever family! 

Love and big kisses from Reefe

Hello, my name is Sweet Annie, I am a great dog who was living the good life until my owner went into the hospital and never returned. Sad day for
me and my big brother but he loved us so much he had set up Lab Rescue to find good homes for the two of us. I have always been trusted to have the run of the house when my human friends have to be gone, I am as good as they come. I will sleep on your bed, or on the floor beside you or I am good with the couch. I love my foster dogs that live here, big or small I like them all. Grandkids that come over I can’t get enough of. I wasn’t just named Sweet Annie, I earned that name. I am also a good leash dog, anyone can walk me. I can’t say I have any bad habits - I'm just a girl who will do anything to please my humans. The only thing I require from anyone wanting to take me home, is that you know how to give a good belly rub.
